 From a requirements standpoint, I'd just assume we not go into this level
of detail. The high level bits of deterministic number of lookups and other
things seem fairly uncontroversial, but the engineering/deployment 
considerations
of the RR problem require a lot more detail and/or experimental evidence 
to be
examined. I don't think that a requirements document is the right venue 
to run
that debate.
